Lot's of food for thought via
Alan November I saw him at
SETT 2001 recently and it was so refreshing to find someone actively championing thinking skills - he wants teachers to constantly challenge kids about the information they find - who are the sources, are they trustworthy, compare the results of different search engines, etc. We need to get away from a culture where kids think just because they see it on a web page it must be the truth (Alan uses a holocaust denial site as a rather scarey example).

"
Is A "Well-Rounded" Education a Good One?" [
Slashdot]
I don't think my uni education was well rounded - the only subjects you could study for a degree in compsci after first year were comp sci and...wait for it...maths. Where's the 'human' part of the teaching?
